June 5, 20187 yr ...he's about to paint his masterpiece. Coulda gone into the "Movies that won you over," thread. Scott's weird editing and twangy score turned me off. But Creasy's #rampage is worth it. Denzel Washington started a new wave of "old(er) guys kicking ass." We wouldn't have Taken without Man on Fire.
June 5, 20187 yr Running around on cable a lot the last couple of months. Interesting observation on Taken. Probably right. I think Scott borrowed from Traffic for the color oversaturation. The Mexico scenes could be from the same film. Oh hell, I looked at the IMDB entry for this and noticed for the first time that this is a based on the first of a series of novels. Got the first one. Could keep me busy for the summer. Edited June 5, 20187 yr by TwiceHorn
June 5, 20187 yr Author A SERIES of novels? So lemme get this right. We've had SEVEN Fast & Furious's, and only one MoF? The terrorists most definitely have won.
June 5, 20187 yr denzel, taken, a series of novels - is nobody going to mention the original creasy was scott glenn? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093489/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 Edited June 5, 20187 yr by henrygandorf

June 6, 20187 yr your resume is impressive. nine years in the army. extensive counter terrorism work. I shouldn’t be able to afford you. what’s the catch? -I drink.
June 6, 20187 yr I love Man on Fire but y'all can stuff your Taken sucks takes in a sock. That's a really fun movie that I love, as well (the first one). One good scene? No. I can think of 6 off the top of my head.

No. I can think of 6 off the top of my head. Its formulaic. it might be entertaining but it's nothing special. MoF rises above.

I read the first book years ago and while I liked it, I think this is one of the rare instances where the movie is actually better than the book. Spoiler but not really important enough to ruin the book spoiler: Roughly a third of the book is him recovering and getting back in shape after he is shot and the little girl is kidnapped. Pages and pages about him swimming across a lake. It drags, IMO. Edited June 6, 20187 yr by Tom
June 6, 20187 yr A definite "Toss the remote" movie when you stumble on it on cable.I never toss off to anything.
June 7, 20187 yr [Heavy Jersey accent] Ahhhh man.... you're makin' me fuuuuckin' nervous.... [/Heavy Jersey accent] Fucking love Man on Fire. Creasy Bear kicks ass. Tons of great performances from Walken, Rachel Ticotin, Giancarlo Giannini, Micky Rourke...even Mark Anthony is good. And the whole thing wouldn't work as well if Dakota Fanning wasn't so damn good.

June 8, 20187 yr An automatic stop down for me whenever it airs. Never get tired of seeing Denzel exact the revenge from La Hermandad.
